I’ve recently started working on the Soleil Royal, a model ship project I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. One of the reasons I chose this particular project is because of the incredible detail and beauty of the design—it truly stands out. They made a nice video on youtube presenting the model. Additionally, the kit is well-documented, providing clear guidance that makes the intricate work both manageable and enjoyable. I ordered online through the website of Artesania and was not disappointed when the box arrived. They provide a very detailed instruction with a lot of pictures explaining step by step how to build the model. I would prefer to also have some plans of the ship ... I guess there is a reason they don't provide these. Here is the result of 3 days work:

Artesania Latina's Soleil Royal is indeed a great kit, but there are many things you can do to make it better. If you are new to ship building, building a kit straight out of the box is very important in order to learn the basics in construction, but research and study will show you how to change things to make the model more historically correct and add detail which are often missing in kits. Just gathering books and research material to learn in detail the construction features of Soleil Royal is a hobby itself. Other modeler's build logs are the easiest way of learning ways of making the kit more detailed. You can ask the builder about details and why they were added. All of the forum members here are very helpful in this regard.

Happy Building!
